Voice use of a phone while driving, hands free or not, is a distraction that cannot be permitted. It goes w/o saying that texting is outrages and should be considered negligent and therefore reckless driving and come with the same penalty.
This isn't a foking seat belt law that costs 50 bucks. Texting should cost 500.

I agree, my buddies Goldwing's GPS locks up as soon as you put it in drive. I would step it up and make the manufacturer legally liable for any injury/death due to texting and driving due to their device.
I bet they would then have locking technology on their devices PDQ.

Not putting miles on your car is like not having sex with your girlfriend, so she'll be more desirable to her next boyfriend.
